The Lying Niu Mountain is about 300 zhang high, and from a distance, it looks like a big buffalo lying on the ground.

At the beginning, the mountain is not steep, but the highest place is like the horns of an ox, extremely steep, you have to be careful to worry-free, more than 300 zhang high, ordinary villagers have to climb up at least an hour.

Han Shi is now climbing the mountain very fast, about two hundred breaths, and has come to the top of the mountain, his face is as usual, his breathing is steady and long, and his physical strength has obviously improved compared to three months ago.

The night was hazy, and under the moonlight, there was silence on Woniu Mountain, as if the mountain was also sleeping, and only the mountain wind was still wandering sleeplessly.

On the top of the mountain, the gate of the fence courtyard was wide open, and Xuanyuan Wen sat quietly on the bamboo bench in the courtyard, his eyes looking at the boundless starry sky, as if he was preoccupied.

On the stone table next to him, two cups of tea had just been brewed, and there was hot steam, the mountain breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of tea was refreshing, Xuanyuan Wen seemed to have known that he would come here at this moment.

"Sit and drink tea!"

Xuanyuan Wen's face was calm and said lightly.

Han Shi sat down and drank it all according to his words, the tea was warm, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, savoring the aftertaste.

There was a mist in his blood-red eyes, and in an instant, a clear and translucent light flashed in this blood-red, feeling the silent atmosphere, Han Shi stood up and was about to speak.

"Sit and drink tea!"

Xuanyuan Wen's left hand waved lightly, and there was no movement, and the teapot floated silently, as if there was a pair of invisible hands, picking up the teapot and making tea.

When the tea water flows, it is different from the usual water flowing, but it falls into the teacup one by one like pearls.

Han Shi's eyes were strange, and he didn't sit down immediately, the mist in his eyes was heavier, and he was gesturing something in his hands, but his face was still calm.

After the three incense sticks, Han Shi sat down slowly, picked up the second cup of tea that had cooled down, and drank it slowly like tasting the elixir and jade liquid, and then sat with his eyes closed and did not say a word.

Under the cold moonlight, Xuanyuan Wen and Han Shi sat facing each other, until the distant sky turned white like a fish's belly, and Han Shi was still silent.

A smile flashed across Xuanyuan Wen's face, his left hand waved lightly, and the moment the tea in the teacup overflowed, Han Shi opened his eyes, and there was no longer a blood-red color, only a sense of crystal flowing.

"Sit and drink tea!"

Han Shi shot like the wind, picked up the teacup again, his eyes showed determination, and he drank it all in one go, regardless of the tea that was still hot.

The hot tea rushed down his throat, like a flame burning, Han Shi's face suddenly turned red, but he held back and didn't make a sound.

Xuanyuan Wen's eyes showed a complicated look, and he looked at Han Shi in his eyes, not knowing whether it was appreciation or worry.

"Three cups of tea, you can say everything you want. ”

"Sir, the stone has been loved by you and taught for ten years, but there are still three questions to be asked today, and I hope Mr. will teach you. Han Shi's face was still red, but his eyes were becoming more and more determined.

"Sir once said that in this heaven and earth, all creatures have spirits, not unique to human beings, but in this heaven and earth, are there spirits? This is the first question. ”

Xuanyuan Wen was stunned, "Where did you come from?"

"In every book that Stone has read in the past ten years, the heavens and the earth are the supreme things, and there is no surpass. ”

"Even the lord of a kingdom calls himself the son of heaven, and he often sacrifices to heaven and earth, and does not dare to transgress in the slightest, if heaven and earth are soulless things, why should all men be in awe of them?"

There was a hint of shock in Xuanyuan Wen's eyes, over the years, although Han Shi was usually silent, but once he had doubts in his heart, he would definitely quote the scriptures and ask about the ugly man.

It's just that today's first question, being able to ask it, confirms that Han Shi already has a trace of Taoism in his heart.

This thought is not shallow!

"Han Shi, if you are so sharp in your life, even the sky and the earth have doubts, it is not a blessing, but an early death. ”

"But at the moment, I will answer this question or not? Master, why don't you let me take Han Shi back to Qingyunxing, his talent in cultivation is superb, if you teach him personally, he will definitely achieve great success. ”

Xuanyuan Wen's expression wavered, although he had thousands of magical powers, he was caught off guard by Han Shi's first question.

Xuanyuan's white robe was windless and automatic, and it seemed that at this time, his heart had ups and downs.

"Han Shi, what's your second question?"

What Han Shi has learned from Xuanyuan Wen in the past ten years is worthy of what ordinary people have seen and heard in their lives, and they are not limited by the worldly ethics of the world.

Therefore, the doubts in my heart are also very accessible, and my thoughts are even more free and unrestrained, just like a very smooth and sharp sword, which can't help but come out of its sheath and show its brilliance and sharpness to the world.

"Sir, I have been sharpening the firewood knife for five years, and now it is finally broken, but the knife is broken, you can replace it, if the heart is broken, then how to change it? This is the second question. ”

Xuanyuan Wen's eyes were full of brilliance, and his heart was even more uncertain, he glanced at Han Shi deeply, and Xuanyuan Wen also picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly.

"Name your third question. ”

"Sir, we are born between this heaven and earth, and we will also die between this heaven and earth, there must be death when there is life, a person is destined to die at birth, he cannot live forever, and he does not know when he will die. ”

"In this case, why do people live in this world? This is the third question, Mr. Wang's solution to the stone's doubts. ”

Xuanyuan Wen's eyes were closed, he drank two cups of tea in a row, his face returned to calm, but there were huge waves in his heart, and this third question evoked his memories.

Many years ago, Master asked the same question, and he is still thinking about it, and although he has some eyebrows, he still doesn't have an answer that makes his heart feel at ease.

It should be said that there is really an answer to this question.

"Han Shi, these three questions are not something you can ask at your age, let alone something you should know now, I will give you two choices. Xuanyuan Wen stared at Han Shi's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"The first way, if you don't ask anymore, I can ensure that you and your descendants will be glorious for ten generations, rich and noble, princes and generals, and wives and sons, even if you become the supreme emperor of the world, it is okay to win the world, I believe you already know, Master and I are not extraordinary, if I do my best in this matter, I should be able to make you proud of the world and enjoy your life. ”

Han Shi's temperament has been calm since he was a child, but at this time, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, his eyes flickered, and it was impossible to say that he was not moved at this time.

The highest peak that a mortal can reach in his life, but that's it, and the name of Han Shi will be paid tribute to the ancestral hall, so that future generations will respect it for thousands of years.

"If you choose the second path, I will tell you, but from now on you will have countless difficulties and obstacles in this life, there will be the wound of cloudiness and sunshine, the difficulty of not being able to choose, the pain of life and death, the pain of desperation, the loneliness of a thousand years!!"

"You will embark on a never-ending path, in which there will be more terrible calamities. ”

"When the time comes, just being afraid of death will become a luxury, and maybe many years later, you will blame me in your heart and regret not taking the first path. ”

"People are alive, but fame and fortune, Han Shi, look at the people in the village under the mountain, most of them are poor and still struggling to survive. ”

"If you have the wealth of a country that rivals the richness of the country, and the fame that will last through the ages, what more can you ask for?"

"Why do you want to be that flat boat, in the stormy seas, the boat is only in an instant. ”

Han Shi looked into the distance, a round of red sun was erupting, and the sky and earth turned from dark to bright, reflecting on his face, but Xuanyuan Wen saw an indescribable solemnity on Han Shi's still childish face!

This kind of solemnity, he had seen it in Shizun's body.

Han Shi clasped his hands together and stood facing east, "Sir, this red sun rises in the east, and it is rising now, but after noon, it becomes slowly setting in the west, the rise and fall of the sun is just like the glory and withering of plants and trees, and everything in the world is like this!"

"My hands are also divided into left and right, and they are tightly together at the moment, but after they are separated, they are left and right, which means that the distance between the left and right is also between the line, and my choice is ...... And so it is!"

"Sir, you said that you want to protect me and my descendants from the tenth generation of wealth and glory, but what you did not say is that after the tenth generation of wealth and glory, there will be ten generations of poverty and labor. ”

"Just like the meaning of withered glory, this glory given by you is like the moon in the mirror, but illusory. ”

"If my three questions are not answered, then my heart will not be able to calm down in my life, what is the use of this wealth, what is the use of this fame and fortune, I will live this life, but I want to understand peace of mind, no matter fame and fortune life or death!"

Han Shi's hands slowly parted, and the palm of his right hand was placed flat towards the sky, stretching out towards Xuanyuan Wen.

"Sir, this right hand has been separated from the left hand, and I choose the second way. ”

"This heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can be witnessed, I, Han Shi, at this time today, choose the second way, although I die...... I don't regret !!"
